Went shopping in Tesco Express first thing then set off at 7.45.
At Floods Ferry we carried on the old course of the River Nene through Benwick. Then we turned up High Lode to Ramsey where we turned round and backed up beyond the turning place as there was already a narrowboat on the one mooring. Went to the Jolly Sailor for a pint, then bought lunch in the bakery opposite and took it back to the boat.
Set off again and turned left at the end of High Lode and through Lodes End Lock. Then at Nightingale Corner we turned off the old course of the River Nene and up New Dyke to Holme. We initially stopped at the point where the OS map shows the end of navigation, but after consulting the other information we carried on almost as far as the east coast mainline. Here there was room to turn and we moored.
Walked to the Admiral Wells where I had booked a table for 7pm. They had 5 beers on but they were all quite similar. We all ordered the Guinea Fowl but they only had one left, so two of us were unlucky.
